“Amazon Music Delivered” is here.
If you use Amazon Music, you might feel out of loop this time of year, as Spotify and Apple Music users share their listening stats from Wrapped and Replay, respectively. This year, however, is a bit different: It seems Amazon has finally jumped onto the end-of-year recap bandwagon, rolling out its own version to users it calls “Delivered.” (Get it? Because Amazon?)
If you’ve ever used a platform with a yearly recap, Amazon Music Delivered seems pretty standard: The feature summarizes your listening activity for 2024, including stats like your top artists, songs, and podcasts of the year—if you used Amazon Music for your podcasting needs, of course. Amazon also says that you’ll see any “hidden gems” you discovered, as well as the “top request” you made on Amazon Music via Alexa. I’m sure your social media feeds will be abuzz with that stat.
Amazon does say that certain listeners may receive a message from one of their top artists. The company didn’t confirm which artists provided these messages, but Amazon does say you need an “Alexa-enabled” device in order to receive messages.
In any case, it’s a big improvement over how things used to work: Amazon Music used to offer an annual playlist, comprising your top tracks from the past year. But this new feature, like Spotify Wrapped, is a more engaging way to review your 2024 listening habits.
How to find your 2024 Amazon Music Delivered
To check out your 2024 Delivered, open the Amazon Music app on your iPhone or Android, then head to your Library. Here, tap the “2024 Delivered” banner, and you’re in.
While all the graphics are new, you can still access a year-end playlist. You’ll find these as a new “Top Songs 2024” playlist, rather than the old “My Year in Review” playlist. You can also ask Alexa to play the playlist by saying, “Alexa, play My Top Songs 2024.”
If you have an Alexa-enabled device attached to your Amazon Music account, you’ll see a blinking yellow light if you received a message from a top artist.
